2023-25. The Last Lie Told

Deb Webb. 2022.

The main problem with this book is that the main story arc is not resolved in the first book, even though the case the protagonist and her boss are working on is solved.  I am not sure I loved the book enough to read the second one and I am definitely concerned that even if I read the next two in the series that that still might not be enough to get to the bottom of the protagonist's storyline.  

The narrator is a former prosecuting DA who left her job after a mental health crisis occurs following the murder of her husband.  She is now a private investigator for a disgraced, but still barred attorney.  They are hired to investigate a murder when the person serving time for the murder recants his confession.  It is a complex storyline that wraps up nice and is intriguing enough to have kept my attention, but even after the twist to that case wraps up, her husband's murder is reopened and left hanging.  So, the question for me is whether I want to continue with that story in the next two--and possibly more--books.

Not recommended.
